    Tonight I don’t feel like driving home. I’m here with my 2 pillows and the Yahoo! blanket we got for 2003 Christmas. I’ll be spending the night trying to catch up on some work. It feels strangely very comforting to be here. Yahoo! has been like my 2nd home for the last 5 years. I…

    I’ve recently been using the public transportation a lot.  I take the BART from the east bay to SF then take the CalTrains into work in Sunnyvale.  On weekends, I would take the BART with Kate all over the Bay Area.  We have time to actually talk, draw, read or just fool around.  It’s been…

    I currently have 280 bugs assigned to me with priority 1,2,3 I don’t think I’ll ever finish the list.  A lot of them are just little annoying bugs.. But if they’ve been in the queue for 1-2 years, probably no one cares any more. One day I’ll clean up this list, get rid of the…

    Why the squid face? Pissed off at Dad Kate used to do Tai Chi with me, just the first 9 movements, when she was 2 years old. Recently I think I haven’t kept it up so she’s given up on me. Time for me to brush up on my 24 movements and get her interested…

    Father’s day turned out be to more than just Kate and Me at the Broadwalk.  My entire family came along and I’m glad they did.   My bro-in law rented a van and the 6 of us hopped in and off we went.  We got there at 9:45 and Kate and headed immediately to the beach,…

    My foot has been hurting for the last 2 weeks and I have not been able to run.  I’m getting really depressed lately but I couldn’t run to counteract it.   I’m trying a new exercise:  handstand pushups.  Pretty funny that most of the people doing it are kung fu fanatics (which I’m not)  I just…

    I don’t like the heat.  On a very hot day, I joked with Kate (my 4 year old) one day that I’m going melt under the heat.   She got concerned that I’ll just disappeared one day.  That is when Angie jumped in and taught Kate about metaphores. I am working at home today, decided to…
